Firstly, we’re going to talk about the castle and stage 1a overhaul. As mentioned in previous updates, we wanted to add more progression into the story mode of the game and get closer to the Wonderboy 3: the Dragon’s Trap feel we wanted. Now we’ve really separated arcade mode and story mode. Arcade mode is totally action based, while story mode has you upgrading and tracking down the needed items needed to reach your final destination!

And a couple of you might notice your NPCs are in these shots! Three of you are actually here in the opening sections of the game. KS backer NPCs will be three or four per stage.
